Oswestry Town Council, meeting the Guildhall, will debate the legacy grant that was granted to the Welsh Premier Champions in 2011.

The grant is said to have involved a potential repayment to Oswestry Town Council.

Councillors will consider whether to instruct the council solicitor to make an independent review of the matter and whether the legal team could recover money under the Start Up Britain project.

The matter has been controversial in the town over the past few months.

The club says it has done nothing wrong.
